Items sent collect will be held for a maximum of 14 days at which time they will be returned to the consignor or disposed.

Package Drop-Off and Pick-Up

When dropping-off a package for shipment, ID must be provided and the items being shipped must be inspected to confirm their contents (these are Transport Canada requirements).
